Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Licence
Landlords need an HMO licence if a property has five or more tenants forming more than one household.
It is an offence to fail to license an HMO, and landlords can be prosecuted and fined up to £20,000 for failing to license.
You can apply for a new licence, renew an existing licence or change your licence online:
Public Register
We maintain a Public Register of HMOs that have been licensed.
